Problem
Enterprises often launch AI projects without a pre‑built governance layer covering identity, access controls, compliance documentation, and decision‑rights management. This missing infrastructure leads to project failures, regulatory breaches, and costly rework before any model is even deployed.
Solution
Ciph Lab provides an AI governance infrastructure that establishes the necessary identity, access, compliance, and decision‑rights controls prior to AI deployment. Their free Phase 0 diagnostic quickly maps governance gaps across twenty‑four items, highlighting missing or partial controls. Based on the diagnostic, organizations can progress to paid Tier 1 strategic assessments and SaaS platform tiers that automate intake, routing, risk scoring, and continuous oversight. The platform integrates with existing AI tools, enabling enterprises to scale AI responsibly while meeting regulations such as the EU AI Act, NIST RMF, HIPAA, and state privacy laws. Ciph Lab also offers retainer‑based advisory services to embed executive‑level governance expertise within client teams.
Target Audience
Primary customers are large enterprises and regulated organizations that are deploying or scaling AI initiatives and need a structured governance framework to meet compliance and risk management requirements.
